The art of war is not always about winning the battle but learning to win the war. See Jesus taught us this in His walk of life and He won the war by teaching us the art of selfless sacrifice. Jesus did not fall into the spiritual snares and traps of Satan either through the darts that were thrown at Him through the people’s words and actions nor through evil temptations. It is through the love of God that we discover the only antidote to the snake bites of this world.
This is why the Lord teaches us to put on the Full Armor of God to protect us from the snakes that try to hold us back. As God taught us with Moses in the wilderness a message that paralells the same message of Christ we are to focus upon the Lord and directly face the snakes that bite us. Until we learn to stand in belief and face the snakes without waver in the Truth through God’s love then our lives will be negatively affected.
The art of war is being as wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove while learning to walk in the enemy camp without allowing the enemy to change who we are. We can not recognize the enemy unless we know the enemy and this is a vital part of warfare. Be wise in the Word of God to recognize that this is not our battle. For this war is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual principalities and powers that are way higher than us. For vengeance is the Lords…amen
For if we are not willing to go into battle how will you ever learn how to hear the snakes rattle?
